Americans who own e-Readers buy and read more books (in either print or electronic formats) than those who don't own them, according to Harris Interactive. More than a third of e-Reader users (XX%) say they're reading more books than they were six months ago, compared to XX% of those who don't use e-Readers. Only X% of e-Reader users say they're reading less than they did six months ago, compared to XX% of non-users.

Women are more likely than men to read mysteries/thrillers (XX% of women have read them in the past year, compared to XX% of men), while men are more likely than women to read science fiction (XX% of men vs. XX% of women).

Among nonfiction books, more men (XX%) than women (XX%) read history, while more women (XX%) than men (XX%) read books on religion or spirituality. Women are almost twice as likely as men to read "true crime" titles (XX% vs. X%).

Currently, XX% of U.S. adults own e-Readers; another XX% say they're either somewhat or very likely to buy them in the next six months. [PRINT MEDIA, LEISURE, HUMAN BEHAVIOR]
